Is Karjakin capable of winning the title?

Personally, watching Karjakin winning the candidates, i was surprised. Mainly because he was not among the top 10 chess players of the world. So, i'm just wondering whether he has what it takes to become world champion against Magnus. What do you guys think about that?

 

Notice that i was impressed by his playing and i'll definitely watch over this guy from now on...

 

Thank you for your time.

Karjakin is well-booked, has excellent nerves, and is a very resilient defender. He just won an extremely strong tournament, and won the Norway Chess classic twice, finishing ahead of Carlsen both times. Sure he has a achance. My money is on Magnus, but Karjakin surely has his chances

Well said. Agreed.
